Resolution 2009 achieved!

Remember the resolution I made this year?


I DID IT! First attempt! I know I did not do very well (18 demerit points) but I did pass okay!

I almost hit a car in the circuit! Not that I'm proud of it, but I think I'm being blessed.. by my brother.. I did very well in circuit, only to realise I did not change to gear 1 upon moving out of BBDC! Well, I was waiting for my turn to move out of BBDC so I should change to gear 1 but I only realised it when I'm out of BBDC and wanted to gear up, oh gosh, stupid mistake, 4 demerit points for that.

I got a combo though, veer off course + fail to keep in lane during a bend = 10 demerit points! The rest is mostly fail to check mirror.....

My tester looked very strict and fierce but at least he wasn't how my instructor had warned me about; will not tell us when they want us to do parking in circuit, we have to know it immediately. But my instructor was right about if the tester didn't tell me to turn left or right, I should go straight. The tester did warn me that though.

Nowadays everything is getting more and more high-tech. During Jiexiang's time when he was taking driving lessons, basic/advanced theory test were all done using OTAS sheet with a 2B pencil! Now they have touch screen monitors and even 3D models as traffic police and 3D animation in our basic/advanced theory test!

Even for practical, it used to be just paper checklist and a pen/pencil to mark down the mistakes of the student, but now they actually have a touch screen monitor with a stylus to mark down mistakes! On the screen, it shows the route map and the tester will use his stylus to point the part of the route where mistakes were made and make a note of it! Every single mistake is taken into account. *sweat*

But nonetheless, I'm a Class 3 driving license holder now! HAPPY!!!
